    Happy Thursday Everyone, I've created some cool new metal texture images and uploaded them onto this page on my site: TXR - METAL - (Tile-able) https://soundimage.org/txr-metal-seamless/ As always, they're 100% free to use with attribution, just like my thousands of other images, music tracks and sounds. Speaking of which, I have... BIG NEWS -- FREE HIGHER-QUALITY OGG TRACKS ARE ON THEIR WAY! For those of you who use my music tracks, specifically my looping ones... Wordpress apparently now supports Ogg music files, so I'm in the process of replacing all my looping Mp3 tracks on my site with even higher-quality Ogg versions! Besides sounding more rich and full, the Ogg versions always loop seamlessly in game engines...(Mp3 files sometimes need to be edited...this is due to the Mp3 encoding process which sometimes discards a tiny bit of audio information at the looping point...very annoying.) Anyhow, I'm very excited to be able to make the higher-quality Ogg versions available to my fellow creatives! Standard tracks (and those that don't have to loop seamlessly) will remain in Mp3 format so video creators can use them... (Premiere doesn't seem to support the Ogg format.) For those of you who want to bulk-download all of my Ogg tracks at once, my Ogg Music packs will still be available. It's taking some time, but I'm making very good progress...hopefully I'll have all my looping game music tracks converted soon. Enjoy!
